To Anand: Serious Issues Demanding Serious Consideration

Anand,
In your latest posting, you write in part:
-----------------------------------------------------------
I think, what happened in case of Blavatsky is she IMPERFECTLY
received Masters thought. Then she put those thoughts in her own
words, materialized those words on paper using occult powers, and sent
them out as letters from Masters.
Blavatsky many times could NOT understand Master's thought, sometimes
PARTIALLY understood, sometimes ENTIRELY MISUNDERSTOOD.
------------------------------------------------------------
Caps added.
Now Anand, I ask you:
WHAT LEADS YOU TO BELIEVE that she IMPERFECTLY received Masters
thought?
How do you know that?
Again WHAT LEADS YOU TO BELIEVE that many times Blavatsky could NOT
understand Master's thought?
How do you know that?
WHAT LEADS YOU TO BELIEVE that sometimes she ENTIRELY MISUNDERSTOOD
Master's thought?
Anand, I am not suggesting that she could not have occasionally made
mistakes or that she could not sometimes have a misunderstanding.
But are you Anand saying that this misunderstanding happened all the
time or even most of the time when she was transmitting the Masters'
thoughts?
And if you are contending that is the case, how do you know that??
********Are you suggesting that Blavatsky was so ill-trained by the
Masters that she was a totally incompetent person in relaying
messages or thoughts or teachings from the Masters??**************
And if you are, then please show the evidence, reasoning, etc. that
lead you to this conclusion?
You must have some concrete examples or specifics that you can give
that will actually help readers on Theos-talk understand more fully
what you are contending.
Moving on.
Are you ALSO saying that it is your belief that Blavatsky
misunderstood the Masters' TEACHINGS too???
If you believe that Blavatsky misunderstood the Masters' teachings,
then it seems to me that this means that you somehow have a better
understanding of the Masters' teachings than HPB herself.
In other words how do you know the REAL teachings of the Masters?
If you say HPB misunderstood this or that teaching of the Masters,
then how do you know that?
Are you in communication with the Masters? I think Morten Sufilight
thinks he is in some sort of communication with them.....
Anand, maybe you understand what the real teachings of the Masters
are. I don't know. But if you do, tell us what those real teachings
are and how you have access to them.
Plus if you really believe H.P. Blavatsky was such an unreliable
transmitter of the Masters' thoughts, messages AND teachings, then
consider the following:
What does this tell you about the Masters Koot Hoomi and Morya? What
does this tell you about their own competence and their training
methods??
Here I revert to the related subject which is given in greater detail
in my posting at:
"Anand, what ethics does the Master KH have???????"
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/theos-talk/message/46459
I will simply say in summary of what is already given in that
posting, that surely both the Masters Koot Hoomi and Morya --- unless
they were also incompetent --- must have known that H. P. Blavatsky
OVER MANY YEARS was garbling, miscommunicating and misunderstanding
their thoughts, messages and teachings.
Surely these two Masters must have known, must have been aware that
H. P. Blavatsky was not only garbling, miscommunicating and
misunderstanding their messages to Sinnett but also they must have
known that Blavatsky was giving out garbled and misunderstood
teachings in her books.
Please remember that Madame Blavatsky's public career spans a period
of some 16 years and she was constantly writing articles and also her
books. And A.P. Sinnett's two books THE OCCULT WORLD and ESOTERIC
BUDDHISM were widely circualated and these two books contained
voluminous extracts from Koot Hoomi's supposed letters.
Are you saying that the Masters just ignored all of this and allowed
all this misunderstanding and misunderstood teachings to be spread to
the four corners of the globe?
What kind of ethics, morality and even "common honesty" does the
Masters Koot Hoomi and Morya have if such are the "facts" as
suggested by what you have been writing?????
Of course, you will have to tell us what you are actually contending
and wanting Theos-Talk readers to consider and believe.
And I hope you will spend some time answering these questions and
dealing with these issues.
If you know something we don't, if you have insights, etc., which you
can share with us, I'm sure I am not the only Theos-Talk reader who
wants to hear what you say so that we in turn may have a greater
understanding.
Daniel
